Chapter: Chapter 8: Would You Be My
Happy Wednesday!! Sometimes we need a quiet pacing page in order to get to the ones where things happen. <3
Over in How Baby-land, I just celebrated 500 strips! Yes, it is a big enough deal that I am talking about it everywhere!!! I’m allowed!!

TRANSCRIPT
No dialogue on this page! It depicts Alex and Lucas sitting in a darkened living room watching television together. Alex looks sidewise over at Lucas in concern, as he’s still being a big grump, and checks her phone. The time is 9:38 on February 14.
The fact Lucas kinda shut down after the “young man” comment a few strips ago is making my trans sense tingle.
Maybe I’m just reading too much into things, but wow I hated being called a “young man” at that age. I didn’t know _why_ at the time, but later on once I learned what dysphora is? Yeah……
I think this is the first time the description has used “he” for Lucas. I did re-read the whole thing after that comment too. Seemed very trans or maybe just feeling like a disappointment because.. Lucas is queer? HMMMmmmm
